Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, it is also the major hub of transportation in Malaysia. Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral) used to be only Kuala Lumpur main bus terminal, however, due to massive traffic and growing number of commuters in Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral), the authority has then changed Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral) to serve only north-bound buses in order to ease the traffic congestion in the city. As for south bound buses (Destination like Melaka, Johor Bahru, Singapore), they are now served by TBS bus terminal in Bandar Tasik Selatan located at the south of the Kuala Lumpur city. Other than Pudu Raya (or Pudu Sentral) and TBS, there are another 2 bus stations, Hentian Pekeliling and Putra bus terminal, which are mainly to serve the eastern coastal travellers.
